Definitions
- the present invention relates to an exhaust gas turbocharger with a compressor housing and a turbine housing.
- the present invention therefore deals with the problem of stating an improved or at least an alternative embodiment for an exhaust gas turbocharger of the generic type, which in particular does not have the disadvantages known from the prior art.
- the present invention is based on the general idea from connecting, in the case of an exhaust gas turbocharger without bearing housing, a turbine housing to a compressor housing via at least three heat-insulating spacer pins.
- the at least three spacer pins in this case have a comparatively low heat conductivity coefficient, as a result of which heat transfer between the comparatively hot turbine housing and the compressor housing can be greatly reduced.
- This is of elementary significance in particular for such exhaust gas turbochargers in which the turbine housing is arranged on the compressor housing without intermediate connection of a bearing housing.
- the spacer pins are formed from ceramic, in particular from zirconium oxide.
- Such spacer pins formed from ceramic cannot only be produced in a cost-effective manner but also have a very low heat transfer rate, i.e. a low heat conductivity coefficient, as a result of which in particular the heat transfer between the turbine housing and the compressor housing can be at least greatly reduced.
- zirconium oxide has a high resistance to chemical, thermal and mechanical influences, just like obviously further ceramics as well, as a result of which the use in the above described manner is particularly advantageous.
- recesses for receiving the spacer pins are provided in the turbine housing and/or in the compressor housing.
- the recesses in this case can be optionally formed in the manner of elongated holes in order to be able for example to compensate for heat expansion of the turbine housing, or alternatively as fitted bores, as a result of which reliable fixing for example is made possible.
- the spacer pins usually have a rotation-symmetrical shape. Alternatively, an angular shape is obviously also conceivable, wherein in this case the recesses have to be formed accordingly.
- the turbine housing is screwed to the compressor housing.
- Such a screw connection makes possible both a comparatively simple and secure assembly as well as a comparatively simple disassembly of the two housing parts, which is of major advantage in particular in the case of maintenance operations.
- FIG. 1 a sectional representation through an exhaust gas turbocharger according to the invention
- FIG. 2 a partially sectioned view through the exhaust gas turbocharger
- FIG. 3 different embodiments of a spacer pin
- FIG. 4 a view of a turbine housing
- FIG. 5 a view of a compressor housing with elongated hole-like recesses
- FIG. 6 a representation as in FIG. 5 , however with other recesses
- FIG. 7 a possible embodiment of the exhaust gas turbocharger according to the invention with a spacer pin according to FIG. 3 b.
- an exhaust gas turbocharger 1 according to the invention comprises a compressor housing 2 and a turbine housing 3 .
- the compressor housing 2 in this case is screwed to the turbine housing 3 via screws 4 .
- the turbine housing 3 is now connected to the compressor housing 2 via at least three heat-insulating spacer pins 5 .
- spacer pins 5 can also be provided here.
- these are formed of a heat-insulating material, for example from ceramic, in particular from zirconium oxide, as a result of which a heat transfer between the comparatively hot turbine housing 3 and the compressor housing 2 is to be at least minimised.
- a bearing housing which is usually arranged between the compressor housing 2 and the turbine housing 3 is omitted, so that the two housing parts 2 , 3 are directly connected to one another.
- the at least three heat-insulating spacer pins 5 are provided.
- the spacer pin 5 shown according to FIG. 3 a has two axial pins 6 , 6 ′, whereas the spacer pin 5 shown according to FIG. 3 merely has one such axial pin 6 .
- the axial pin 6 the spacer pin 5 is able to engage in an associated recess 7 on the turbine housing 3 .
- the recesses 7 in this case are likewise formed rotation-symmetrically, in particular even as a fitted bore, as a result of which the spacer pin 5 can be received therein fixed in position.
- the recesses 7 ′ on the compressor housing 2 can also be formed, wherein it is also conceivable alternatively that these are formed elongated hole-like, as is shown according to the FIGS. 5 and 6 .
- the spacer pin 5 is formed as shown in FIG. 3 a , it is able to engage both in the recesses 7 of the turbine housing 3 and also in the associated recesses 7 ′ of the compressor housing 2 and because of this assume a centering function between the two housings 2 , 3 . Because of the elongated hole-like design of the recesses 7 ′ a heat expansion of the turbine housing 3 during the operation of the exhaust gas turbocharger 1 can also be easily compensated for.
- the spacer pin 5 shown according to FIG. 3 b it is possible to let said spacer pin 5 engage in recesses 7 ′ of the compressor housing 2 , as is shown according to the FIGS. 6 and 7 , wherein purely theoretically it is also conceivable that a spacer pin 5 designed in this manner does not assume any centering function so that this has to be assumed by other elements.
- the recesses 7 ′ according to FIG. 6 are embodied as radial slots, in which the spacer pin 5 with its head 9 at least partially engages.
- the spacer pin 5 engages in the recess 7 on the turbine housing 3 , as a result of which in turn an arrangement of the turbine housing 3 and compressor housing 2 compensating for temperature differences is made possible.
- spacer pins 5 formed according to the invention it is possible to at least reduce an undesirable heat transfer between the turbine housing 3 and the compressor housing 2 , in particular in the case of exhaust gas turbochargers 1 , in which the turbine housing 3 and the compressor housing 2 are connected to one another without the intermediate connection of a bearing housing.
- a rotor 8 in this case is mounted in the turbine housing 3 and in the compressor housing 2 .
